As I finished
writing Part 1 of The Lucifer Time Code, I scratched my head
wondering why I ended up emphasizing Arnold Schwarzenegger so
much, which was certainly not something consciously planned. It
just came out that way for some reason. As certain events
unfolded in the subsequent weeks, however, I realized that it could not have
been more appropriate. Schwarzenegger, the 'Terminator', had turned
out to be a central figure, if still hidden, in the major 'drama'
being played out on the global stage at the present time. In a
sense, the current phase of the drama could be labeled 'Enter Antichrist'.

I'm not using
the term 'Antichrist' too literally in a typical Christian way,
but it may well be that those behind the scenes responsible for the 'script'
of the 'Endgame' are consciously following the biblical 'end times'
scenario in a self-fulfilling prophecy - or propaganda - sort of
way. And everything so far suggests that Schwarzenegger has been
'chosen' to play a big 'Antichristic' leadership role - his
political rise in California last year being just the first phase of
this 'plan'.

Serious
developments such as this seem to create a ripple effect in the
matrix of time, moving both forward and backward, expressed mostly
through symbolism. And Etemenanki has been a uniquely
dedicated and thus sensitive 'radar' for detecting this kind of 'advance
warning' signal reaching our space-time locality giving us some
hints as to what is coming ahead. And right now one of the strongest
'signals' on the 'radar' happens to be Schwarzenegger. It's building
up to a set of high-impact events coming sometime in the near
future.

It's not only
about him, of course. We are actually, in a sense, nearing the end
of history and this is a time for the ultimate endgame. The
biggest 'shift' in human history is beginning to take place - the
'elite' must be aware of it - and it appears they are making their
strategic moves accordingly and quietly. There are naturally many
levels to this. Some are just trying to ensure their survival; some
are trying to take advantage of the situation; and some are probably
making 'apocalyptic' events happen, following a certain
timetable. But for many of us, the general public, it will
increasingly be like swimming in a violent storm. We can easily
start to lose all sense of direction and begin to panic.

Reading the
'signs', or symbolic foreshadowing, would therefore be a much
needed 'compass' with which we could anchor ourselves in times of chaos.
It is increasingly in this spirit that this Lucifer Time Code
series is written.

'Omens'

To many, the earthshaking
events of 9/11, 2001 came without any warning. And to many, the
disastrous outcome of the US invasion/occupation of Iraq was unforeseeable. Major events and developments such
as these, they would readily surmise, are not predictable. True, the
more informed segment of the population could easily discern the
danger inherent in the imperial US adventure, but even many
of those were surprised by just how badly the occupation phase in
Iraq went
as the whole thing just steadily collapsed
into a total nightmare.

From the
multicontextual perspective of Etemenanki, however, these
were predictable developments and they were fully anticipated
beforehand - because the 'signs' were clearly there. While the key
to 'reading the signs' is contextual superimposition - i.e. finding
symbolic parallels and coherence - which involves numerous
observations coming from different angles (that get unified),
sometimes we'd encounter a single event whose symbolism alone can
constitute an 'omen' that is powerful/resonant enough to give us
pretty good glimpse of what's coming.

For
9/11, it was the destruction of the Russian space station Mir -
decommissioned on March 23, only several months before 9/11.

[T]he
controlled demolition
of the Russian space station Mir in spring 2001 was eerily
prophetic in that the name Mir means 'peace'
and thus the end of Mir symbolically denoted the 'end of peace',
which indeed was to be the case just several months later on 9/11. I
was actually very
much aware of this doomy symbolism... as early as 1999. In the Two Suns
article, for example, I wrote: "since the name Mir means
'peace', the end of Mir has the ominous symbolic implication of
the 'end of peace'". [...]

[T]he
world-changing events of 9/11 were preceded by the fiery descent of the
Russian space station Mir in March. 'Mir' means 'peace',
as well as 'world'. The decommissioning of Mir thus
symbolically signaled the 'end of world peace' - which was of course
dramatically actualized later in the same year.

[It has now also been
brought to my attention that, amazingly, September 11, 2001 was
the UN-sanctioned International Peace Day!]

As for the Iraq
'disaster' that followed the US invasion, the 'foreshadowing event'
was the destruction of space shuttle Columbia
on Feb. 1, '03, immediately preceding the start of the Iraq war.
Only hours after Columbia's demise, I wrote
the following:

While
many people are saying how the imagery invokes the '86 Challengerexplosion,
I am personally seeing an eerie parallel between Columbia
and the former Russian space station Mir, which was
decommissioned in March '01. I can recall how Mir's
controlled descent burned the sky the same way Columbia
just did. [...]

The
fiery descent of Columbia carries a similar symbolic
message. The name 'Columbia' relates to 'Columba', the
constellation of 'The Dove'. And the dove is of course the
universal symbol of peace. Just like Mir,
then, the violent end of Columbia can signify the 'end
of peace'.

But
there is a double meaning here too. Obviously, 'Columbia' is
another name for the United States; so, while the Mir
demolition was the 'end of peace and the world', the space shuttle
incident was in effect the 'end of peace and the United States'.

A little more refined interpretation
was provided, not for the first time, in June '03 in my article Endgame
V:

It
is quite telling that the Iraq war was immediately preceded by the
space shuttle Columbia falling from the sky... As
the dove is a universal symbol of peace, the Columbia disaster can
be interpreted as an omen for the destruction of 'American
peace'.

Amazingly,
'American peace' is exactly what is meant by 'Pax Americana'
- the [term used to describe the] US global domination
envisioned by the neo-conservatives now in power in the
Bush administration. The invasion of Iraq was the first major step
toward achieving the Pax Americana. So the symbolic implication of the space-shuttle
omen would be that the Bush administration's global ambition will
lead to a major disaster.

And so these major 'end of
peace' omens I was able to detect and interpret effectively.
There have been many others, after all Etemenanki specializes
in this approach, but examples above are noteworthy in that the
events involved were so dramatic and the symbolism involved
stayed essentially the same.

Indeed 9/11 and the Iraq mess are
inseparable (politically). And we see that besides the themes of 'end of
peace' and crashing spacecraft, the two have the following in
common: 1) highly destructive event foreshadowed; 2) very damaging to the
US; and 3) the spring equinox involved (the fall of Mir and the
beginning of the Iraq war came on/around that time).

Now, the basic pattern
continued in 2004. Another symbolically significant event, the 'third omen', was detected. It contained many of the
familiar themes, but it was outwardly very different. The encoded
'message' also seemed to have taken a different turn, probably having
a lot to do with the fact that 2004 is the first - or second - US
presidential election year of the millennium. Accordingly there
appears to be more political elements in the symbolic 'message'. And
it doesn't take a prophetic sign to see that the political
battle is going to be very intense this election year, to say the
least. It's not even an exaggeration to say that the survival of the
US itself may be at stake here.

Much has already been done
with the latest 'omen' at Etemenanki this year, and as of June ('04) we are still carefully tracking world and
celestial events in that context generally. Already we've seen
enough to confirm the 'prophetic' nature of the 'omen', and the
picture emerging is both amusing and alarming. As far
as we can tell at this point, it's building up toward some
kind of culmination in the near future.

Patriot Games

The latest 'foreshadowing event' in question was the Super Bowl held
this year on February 1 in Houston, Texas - coinciding with the first
anniversary of the shuttle Columbia disaster. More specifically, the
'omen' was the entertainment themes that accompanied the biggest
American sport
event. The main attraction was Janet Jackson who performed
with Justine Timberlake during the game's half-time show.

Janet Jackson did the
unthinkable: Her stage performance overshadowed the game itself - by
exposing
her right breast! As everyone probably knows, this became a huge controversy
that people - at least those in the US - were unable to stop talking
about for weeks afterwards. As silly as it was on the surface, I
soon realized that this was a high-impact event that had profound
symbolic implications.

Here are key points taken from
what I wrote on Feb. 3 (two days after
the game/show) regarding the basic symbolism involved:

"At
first, I didn't think too much about the show and the
controversy. I only wondered a little about the youthful and
rebellious tone of the entire extravaganza, thinking it might be
on some level a voice of dissent directed at the Bush
administration." [...] Then I saw a couple of posters
in the Etemenanki forum observantly comparing
Janet Jackson's stunt to the national lady of France, Marianne,
who is also comparable to Lady Justice (as well as the Statue
of Liberty). She represents the true spirit of the United
States - liberty and justice. As it happens, Marianne/Lady
Justice/Liberty is traditionally depicted with her right
breast exposed. It was also her right breast that
Jackson graciously put on display for us."

"There
were two big
female black singers featured in the Super Bowl event, Janet
Jackson (the main attraction of the halftime show) and Beyoncé
Knowles who sang the national anthem. This creates a
conceptual overlap between them and thus would attach the notion
of 'American spirit' (represented by the anthem) to Janet as
well, reinforcing the Lady Justice/Liberty connection. [UPDATE:
Janet prominently performed the song 'Rhythm Nation' from
her 1989 album 'Rhythm Nation 1814'. The number '1814' is
said to be a reference to... the year that Francis
Scott Key wrote... the words to
the national anthem!]"

"The
pre-game show, which featured Beyonce, focused
on the theme of space/NASA because of the location and
timing. This year's Super Bowl was held in Houston (as
in 'Houston, you have a problem') and coincided with the
anniversary of the Columbia
disaster. It turns out, the name 'Columbia' has sometimes
been considered to refer to a symbolic figure who could be seen
as 'Lady
America' i.e. another version of Lady Justice/Liberty
Lady."

"[T]his
makes it rather clear that Janet Jackson, via exposing
her right breast and her juxtaposition with Beyonce
(representing the American spirit), was 'designed' to embody Lady Justice/Liberty
- signifying or prompting the rebirth of the spirit of 'Columbia'.
The prevalent 'blackness' additionally alludes to the pertinence
of another related figure
Mary Magdalene, recently made popular by the huge success of the
book The Da Vinci Code, as this biblical/esoteric 'wife'
of Jesus - embodying the feminine and sexuality - was sometimes
portrayed as the 'Black Madonna'."

I then went on to talk about the
symbolic relevance of the Patriot Act and Attorney General John Ashcroft:

"During his pathetic State of
the Union speech last month [Jan. '04], George W. Bush
shamelessly declared
that the Patriot
Act, scheduled to expire [next year], needs to be renewed.
The Patriot Act is of course anti-freedom, anti-justice, and yes,
unpatriotic. It is indeed a big step toward a police-state New World
Order."

"It's certainly curious that
one of the teams in this year's Super Bowl held in the Bush/Cheney
state of Texas was the Patriots, who won the game. So the
sport event was a 'Patriot Act' of some sort. This link is
strengthened further by the fact that the Patriots quarterback Tom
Brady was somehow invited
to attend Bush's State of the Union speech..."

"And
of course the big supporter/enforcer of the... Patriot
Act is Attorney General John Ashcroft. He famouslycovered up the right breast of the lady justice statue
(named 'Spirit of Justice') in the Justice Department's ornate
Great Hall. [...] Well, it goes without saying that this is the exact
opposite
of what Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake did. [...] Hence the
message of the performance becomes even clearer: it screams 'Fuck
you Ashcroft, your Patriot Act, and your fascist buddies in the
administration'. [...]
This idea is
strongly echoed by the [lyrics of], 'Rhythm Nation'."

Two weeks later (Feb. 17), I went on
to discuss
the 'extended symbolism' detected in a Pepsi
commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl:

"To me,
[the commercial] represents
an interesting continuation of the... Super Bowl halftime-show stunt. More
specifically, the ad seems to back up my interpretation... Back then I discussed the subtly embedded
message of anti-injustice, anti-Patriot Act, anti-Establishment,
anti-Bush administration and such, as well as that of
pro-femininity. [In the commercial you find] the very same themes - and it's
not even subtle."

"First
of all, Beyonce
is featured in it as one of the female gladiators who refuse to
fight each other for the 'king'. They are for peace, not
meaningless staged war - as also suggested by the doves
(universal symbol of peace [and associated with Columba/Columbia])
shown released near the beginning of the commercial. Beyonce's
performance in [this year's] Grammy show also involved a dove,
strengthening the link. The dove not only represents peace, it
is traditionally associated with Mary Magdalene."

"Another well-known
esoteric shorthand for Mary Magdalene is the letter 'M'
(as her initials are MM, for instance). And you'll clearly see a
row of 'M's on the inner walls of the coliseum surrounding the
female gladiators."

"The
fact that the theme song to which the gladiators (Beyonce, Pink,
and Britney) sing is 'We Will Rock You' by Queen
reiterates the point, as MM is widely considered to be a version
of Isis, the ancient Egyptian Queen-goddess."

The Pepsi-commercial 'message' was
interpreted further in my March 12 update. The next key was
the allusion to Caesar (i.e. the 'king' who gets dethroned):

In the ad,
three rebellious female gladiators (Pink, Britney, and Beyonce)
causes the fall
of a Greco-Roman-looking king, played by Enrique Inglesias.
Here, even the religious/Jesus theme returns. As I was informed by
a couple of observant readers, the name 'Enrique' means 'home
ruler' and 'Inglesias' means 'church'. So the Roman 'king'
in the commercial... would be the
'home ruler of the Church' - i.e. the Pope in Rome. (The
Pope is one of the figures I've dubbed the 'Babylon leader'.)
This may be a quite specific hint of things to come... soon.

Indeed, the long-running 'Babylon
leader falling' theme - which includes figures like Bush/Cheney, Blair,
British royal family, Sharon, Saddam, Pope, etc. - was to become a
significant part of what the world would be facing...

The Line of 'Antichrist'

Caesar was killed on the 'Ides
of March' (March 15) - a date indirectly associated with the
death/crucifixion of Jesus. Here is what I wrote on March 12
regarding this interesting connection:

As long-time correspondent
Glenn recently told me:

...March 15th
a.k.a. 'The Ides of March'. Shakespeare (better known as
Sir Francis Bacon) slipped in the clue in his play 'Julius
Caesar' - "Beware the Ides of March" - in which Caesar
was warned that his friends would take him out. ...it is also
known as the Catholic Feast day of St. Longinus. The same
Longinus whom pierced the side of Christ with the Spear of
Destiny!!

And this 'Spear of
Destiny' takes us right back to the Pepsi commercial
because we have already talked
about (Feb. 23) the symbolism of the three ladies in the ad being
a reference to the 'three goddesses of fate' in Norse
mythology called Norne. 'Fate' and 'destiny' are pretty much
interchangeable words, after all.

What's more,
we've already discussed
how the reverse of 'Norne' is 'Enron' and how
Schwarzenegger is linked to this energy company. So we are again
back to Arnold, the messianic 'Antichrist'. And sure
enough, Spear of Destiny is said to have been possessed or at
least sought by various messianic and antichristic leaders
throughout history like Herod the Great, Constantine, Hitler, etc.
The Spear represents the power that Antichrist must obtain in
order to be successful. So obviously there is a coherent symbolic
pattern here.

Let
me now point out that Arnie's most recent film was Terminator
3: Rise of the Machines released just last year... [...] As
you can see in the Terminator 3 graphic shown left, the
Arnie Terminator has only one active red eye. We can easily
view this as an allusion to 'HAL', the AI machine in the movie 2001:
A Space Odyssey which similarly has only one glowing red
'eye'. And of course HAL rebels against its human masters. Thus
the story of 2001/HAL is very much about the 'rise of the
machines'. And '2001' being the year of 9/11... [we can sense the
underlying context].

But
the real punch line here is this: as Glenn correctly pointed out
to me, Longinus who pierced the side of Jesus with his 'Spear
of Destiny' had only
one eye! (He was blind in one eye, but was healed by
Jesus' blood.)
And, in the film The Passion[of
the Christ, a
controversial film about the final 12 hours of Jesus, released
soon after the Super Bowl fiasco], Jesus is mostly...
you guess it, one-eyed.

Needless
to say, this... relates to the Eye of Horus, or the
'All-Seeing Eye' of the pyramid capstone that you see on the back
of the US dollar bill. It symbolizes Osirian resurrection,
seed/sex, Mars, New World Order... etc. etc. all very relevant. Birth
of Horus, birth of Antichrist - that would probably the strongest
concept conveyed by all this.

At this point, I introduced a new piece of the puzzle - an astronomical one - that
would become increasingly important:

...we are
likely in for some very significant 'antichristic' events in
the near future - as early as this month. Key dates coming up
are March 15 (Ides of March, feast day of St. Longinus) and around
March 20 (spring equinox/'Super Mars Day') and/or March 22
('322'/'Skulll & Bones day').

I'd say
there is a high probability that the spring equinox window
coming up will produce some significant event(s) that will conform
to the pattern discussed above. Because not only is March 20 the
'Super Mars/Sphinx/Horus Day', the spring equinox is traditionally
the day of the rebirth of the Sun (-king), i.e. birth of
Horus/Christ/Antichrist. Furthermore, ~March 20 this year is astronomically
emphasized in a very meaningful way. As Gary, a close
observer of the heavens, recently informed me:

...the Sun , New Moon and
both comets [Linear and Neat] will be aligned along the 0h right
ascension/meridian point.

He's right.
Those four
celestial objects will closely align along the 'zero longitude' of
the sky grid on March 20/21. What I find particularly
interesting here is the potential connection [we see] between the term 'longitude'
and the name 'Longinus'. I don't think it's a mere
coincidence that Longinus is associated with a lance, i.e. a
straight line... such as a longitudinal line (meridian),
especially since Jesus' blood/bloodline is esoterically
associated with a meridian called 'Rose Line' (more or less
equated with the Paris Zero Meridian). And this certainly
increases the symbolic depth of the longitudinal celestial
alignment formed around the spring equinox coming up shortly.

A week and a half later on March
26, I analyzed
what had taken place during the spring equinox window:

Well, March 20 was last
Saturday and like most Saturdays it was a relatively uneventful
day. But this was not surprising because 3/20 being the first
anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war, there wouldn't have
been enough 'twists' to the timing symbolism. And there was also
the 'Skull and Bones day' of March 22 ('322') coming only 2 days
later. This is why I had treated the timeframe as a 'window'
rather than a 'key date'.

Things began to heat up on
Sunday (3/21). Let's start with The Passion. It was
reported Sunday that the Jesus movie was dethroned from its #1
box-office position by the new film called 'Dawn
of the Dead'. The symbolism there is quite intriguing as
'Dawn of the Dead' can easily be viewed as an allusion to Horus,
the (rising-) Sun-god and the son of Osiris the god of the dead. Passion
depicts the death of Osiris; and as if to reenact the mythological
story, the death is immediately followed by a rebirth - i.e. the
'dawn of the dead'... the birth of Horus.

Next, the birth of Horus
is something we have long seen in the rise of Schwarzenegger;
indeed, Arnold was quickly identified as a major 'antichristic'
figure here at Etemenanki (see past posts). Arnie was
specifically mentioned in the 3/12 post
when discussing the key March/Mars dates. We've talked a lot about
the seeming 'destiny' of Schwarzenegger becoming a US president
before and this 'plan' finally began to be detectable this
winter/spring as one of the news headlines on Feb. 22 ('222') was:
'Schwarzenegger Argues for White House Run'. (See my 2/23 post.)
And the media helped
pushing this idea again several days later by inexplicably
throwing in the 'Arnold amendment' question during a Democratic
presidential debate televised on CNN.

Well, guess
what happened on Sunday 3/21... One of the news items bore the
title: 'Kennedy
would back law enabling Schwarzenegger to run for US president'.
Arnie is married to former journalist and Kennedy heiress,
Maria Shriver, a niece of Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy. I
see this marriage as a key element of the symbolic role - if not a
literal one - Arnie now appears to be playing - i.e.
Horus/Messiah/Antichrist. Note that the JFK presidency was called
'Camelot', which makes JFK an Arthurian figure who is
inseparable from the tales of the 'Holy Grail'. And the
Holy Grail largely represents 'Blood Royal' or the supposed bloodline
stemming from the union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. And
the Messiah/Antichrist has to possess this Davidic royal blood -
just like St. Longinus' legendary 'Spear of Destiny' that
pierced Jesus' side while on the cross is believed to represent
something that 'Antichrist' must obtain in order to be
successful... [...]

Although not March 20
(equinox) or March 22 (Skull & Bones/'322'), March 23 was also
a symbolically significant date included in the 'Super Mars Day'
window. Since 'Super Mars Day' is analogous to 'Super Tuesday' as
discussed [before], it is natural to view the Tuesday
closest to March 20/22 as carrying the same theme. This happened
to be March 23. The previous 'Super Tuesday' on March 2 was marked
by the
NASA announcement of Mars' past water. On the second 'Super
Tuesday', March 23, pretty much the same thing happened! On that
day, NASA held a special press conference to triumphantly announce
to the world that the landing site of the Mars rover
Opportunity was once the shore of a salty sea. [...]

...I saw the name of the
area where Opportunity landed - 'Meridiani
Planum'. That is, 'Meridian Plane' - so called
because the site is near the Prime Meridian, or longitude
zero, of Mars! Very unexpected, but this certainly seems
to confirm my symbolic interpretation regarding Longinus,
i.e. the relevance of longitude zero/Prime Meridian/Rose Line.

The above also has the
implication of attaching the messianic 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail'
theme to the Red Planet. This happens to be a fully
expected development. As early as Nov. 2002, I was already
propounding this connection; as I wrote in Endgame
III back then:

... I'm
sure this is the first time that all the different subject
matters, especially Cydonia [/Mars] and the underground Gnostic
tradition, have been put together and viewed as aspects of the
same 'game'. Strange stuff, yes, but this is where the 'game' is
going, so people should get used to it.

And now we are seeing the
'game' getting there indeed. This is still only the tip of the
iceberg, and I'm sure I will be talking more about this 'game' in
the future.

And then we entered the month
of May...

MAY: Mary & Oak
King

This is where the timeline catches
up with The Lucifer Time Code: Part 1 - posted on this website on May 3.
Naturally there was a lot of anticipation here that
May would be a very interesting period - and it indeed was.

It began with
the Iraq prison torture scandal that first emerged late April and
then just exploded in May. This was such an appalling revelation that the
Bush administration was finally brought to its knees and it has not yet
recovered from the fallout, and probably never will.

I'll reproduce below my blog posts from May as they should do a good job of
tracking the
events and discerning their potential implications:

May
06, '04 Rumsfeld &
the 'Time Code'

It
appears we may be fast approaching one of those 'Etemenanki
moments' as we witness the fast development
that seems to lead to the exit of the Defense Secretary,
Donald Rumsfeld, the US war chief. The big issue here is the
timing. In my new article The
Lucifer Time Code(Part 1), I highlighted the
significance of the month of May, particularly around May 8
and May 20-5. And based on the underlying symbolic pattern I
presented in the article some potential future-event
projections that included the following:

Major
development involving or associated with 9/11 and/or Iraq.

Major
event that has to do with the fall/exit of one or more of
the 'Babylon leaders' (which include figures such as, and
those closely associated with, Bush/Cheney, Blair, Sharon,
and particularly the Pope).

The fall of Rumsfeld who
leads the US war effort in Iraq would certainly fit those
projections nicely. What
makes this really intriguing is that Rumsfeld heads the Pentagon.
As I made clear in the article, the 'time code' has much
to do with Venus and Sirius - both traditionally signified by
the 5-poitned star symbol, or pentagram. Needless to
say, geometrically the pentagon is just another expression of
the pentagram.

So at this point we
can't help but anticipate the exit of the Defense/Pentagon
Secretary...

If the Iraq prisoner
abuse is a systemic problem, as it likely is, then it would
mean that this story won't go away anytime soon as new photos
and evidence will keep popping up to keep it in the news
cycles. The Bush administration obviously wants the scandal to
blow over as soon as possible before it does irreversible
damage. So they have a big decision to make soon. [...]

.

May
11, '04 Time of Reversal

Let
me quickly make additional comments on the Iraqi abuse scandal
in the context of the 'time code'. So far, things are moving
along pretty much as expected in terms of how the story is
still going strong, assisted by the newly revealed existence
of more photographic evidence, along with continuing calls for
the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But I
must say I [was surprised] that Rumsfeld did not make
his exit during the weekend which I considered very possible
based on reasons stated in my previous entry.

So it is now necessary
to step back a little and reanalyze the timing issue. As far
as the general 'May window' goes, the 'opposition force'
discussed in the 'Time Code' article
does appear to be manifesting itself in a major way at this
point. On this, I think Mark, an Etemenanki reader,
expressed it nicely:

... I
see this period in early-mid May as the
"anti-9-11", in that the karma of our response to
that "attack"; the PNAC plan to invade and occupy
the Mid-east oil fields, is coming to fruition. We see this
especially in the torture scandal and the calls for
Rumsfeld's resignation. The dark side of Amerikan power is
finally seeing the light of day. Since the official story of
9-11 is one of deception, recent events, alluded to in the
celestial events you bring our attention to, the
counterpoint will be one of facing the consequences or
reaping the fruits of that deception. We can only hope that
this can occur without the "nuclear" connection
you also describe.

As for
the more specific timing issue involving the window of/around
May 8, I'm not yet sure how to interpret that, and there is no
need to rush it. [...]

Some have suggested that
the latest appalling scandal is comparable to, or even worse
than, 9/11 in its impact. Only this time, it was not some
physical buildings that was destroyed, but the tower of US
credibility (or what was left of it) in the eyes of the rest
of the world. So it could indeed be said that this recent
development represents the ultimate 'anti-9/11' situation, as
the superpower-nation that had all the support it wanted from
the rest of the world after 9/11 did the unthinkable and has
now finally lost all that and much more. [...] And it's about to get worse...

Though long anticipated... it's still pretty sad to see the
hard fall of the US before our eyes. Day by day it is becoming
increasingly apparent that this thing is going down.
[...]

May
14, '04 Prefiguration
Ritual of Oak King

The
regulars here will recall that it was mid-April that I put up
a little note in the 'What's New' box that said 'Significant
event expected in May; new article coming soon'. The
article is now available and called The
Lucifer Time Code, but I wasn't able to finish it
until May 3. The article discussed the significance of the the
month of May as it was found to have key dates/windows that
could be linked to major events such as 9/11, the Iraq war,
and even the 'rise of Schwarzenegger'.

Turns out, by the time Time
Code was posted some of the projected future patterns were
already unfolding. Here is the list of projections from the
article:

Major
announcement concerning Mars, such as the discovery of
life or present water of Mars.

Major
event that has to do with the fall/exit of one or more of
the 'Babylon leaders' (which include figures such as, and
those closely associated with, Bush/Cheney, Blair, Sharon,
and particularly the Pope).

Some
kind of nuclear event.

It was near the end of
April (4/28) that the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal first
erupted as CBS (in '60 Minutes II') aired disturbing
photos [showing] US military officers humiliating the prisoners. The
scandal grew in intensity during the following days [and
forced Bush to] appear on two Arab TV programs
and try to apologize (May 5). [...] The scandal became so
big that it has even been compared
to 9/11 in terms of the level of damage done to the US. It is
still quite likely that Rumsfeld will be forced to step down
this month.

So the situation is so
far conforming to Projection B and D. The only catch is that
the 'B' event (the abuse scandal) was already underway when
the Time Code article was posted. This is also the case
for Projection C involving Schwarzenegger.

Before going into the
Arnold thing, let me discuss some new findings that can refine
our perspective on the timing issue. Because I was in a great
hurry, I missed some key information that could have helped me
establish a more effective context.

First,
May happens to be the traditionalMary's month in many cultures. It's associated with an
old tradition called Tricesimum, or 'Thirty Day
Devotion to Mary', originally held from August 15 to September
14 (closely overlapping the period of the Athens Olympic Games
this summer). Because of the central role the Venus-Isis-Mary
(or Venus-Sirius) complex plays in the 'Lucifer Time Code', it
is very fitting that this particular month should be dedicated
to Mary (= Isis). No wonder I was already moving in this
direction as I commented in the previous update on May 11:
'...perhaps it's really the entire month of May...'

So this begins to
explain why there appeared to be no overwhelming emphasis
placed on the ~May 8 window with a high-impact event. The
May-timing issue is turning out of be more of a 'month' thing
rather than a 'day' thing. So it actually makes more sense to
emphasize the beginning of May, for instance, just as the
Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal did... as did Schwarzenegger - by
visiting
Israel.

Over the weekend of May
1-2, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made his first
foreign trip since taking office. As reported in the news:

Schwarzenegger
agreed more than a year ago to attend the groundbreaking for
the $200 million museum, a project of the Los Angeles-based
Simon Wiesenthal Center. Designed by architect Frank Gehry,
it will be called the Center for Human Dignity-Museum of
Tolerance in Jerusalem.

Schwarzenegger,
who has depicted Nazi atrocities as the darkest chapter in
Jewish history, will be in Israel for about 24 hours to
attend the ceremony -- and scout for business opportunities
for California's ailing economy.

The governor
also plans to meet with government leaders, including Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon and Finance Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. [...] The museum, expected to be completed in
2007, is intended to promote unity and respect among Jews
and with people of all faiths.

Arnie in
Israel - so what? Well, while seemingly not very important,
this event appears to have been an important 'ritual' set up
for him - preparing the way for his near-future role as a
messianic/'antichristic' figure - not unlike Bush but with
more charisma and more serious consequences for the fate of
the US... The target date for the completion of the museum,
2007, may be hinting at the timetable 'they' are working
with... i.e. when Arnie is to become the (final) President of
the United States. (Normally 2008 would be the election year,
but we shouldn't expect any normalcy in the coming years.)

The ritualistic aspect
of Arnold's Israel visit begins to emerge when seen in the
light of his symbolic identity - the 'Oak King'. As I noted in
The Lucifer Time Code:

...Schwarzenegger
entering politics on August 6 [2003]. ...Aug. 6 is or
represents the actual day on which Sirius' heliacal
rising occurs in our epoch. Through Sirius, June 21, Sept.
11, and Aug. 6 are but different expressions of the same
archetypal date!

This
calendrical link is reinforced by one of Schwarzenegger's
nicknames being 'The Oak'. In pagan tradition, the 'Oak
King' is associated with midsummer which is also
reflected in the fact that the Christian version of the Oak
King, John the Baptist, has his feast day on June 24,
intended to mark the summer solstice (~June 21).

In pagan
tradition, the reign of the Oak King begins on winter solstice
and ends on summer solstice. The other half of the year is
ruled by the 'Holly King'. (The Oak-Holly duality has a very
interesting parallel to the Arnie-Bush duality.) It turns out
that the peak of the Oak King's strength is said
to come at 'Beltane' or May Day, which is May 1... the
very day Schwarzenegger the 'Oak King' went to Israel! Beltane
is also when the Holly King - or 'Shrub/Bush King' - is in its
weakest state... perfectly reflected by the potentially deadly
political mess Bush now finds himself in.

In the Time Code article
I emphasized that the 'rise of Schwarzenegger/Oak King' last
year on August 6 was designed to coincide with the
heliacal/dawn rising of Sirius and/or the alignment of the
historical 'Paris axis' (Champs Elysees) with the angle
of the sunset (which also matches the angle of the rising
point of Sirius). And based on this I pinpointed the time
around May 8 as a key period for Arnie and associated 'antichristic'
themes because ~May 8 is another day that produces the same
street-sunset alignment in Paris. It was something of an
anti-8/6 point (i.e. the 'reversal/opposition' theme). It is
the date 'May 1', however, that carries the same but greater
symbolic significance.

In addition to the
Oak-King peak connection, May 1/May Day/Beltane represents the
'opposite' of New Year, as we learn:

There are
four great festivals of the Pagan Celtic year and the modern
Witch's calendar, as well. The two greatest of these are Halloween
(the beginning of winter) and May Day (the beginning
of summer). Being opposite each other on the wheel
of the year, they separate the year into halves. Halloween
(also called Samhain) is the Celtic New Year...

What this means is that
May 1 symbolically signifies the opposite point of August 6 in
that the latter, viewed as the date of Sirius heliacal rising,
would mark the New Year's Day as per ancient Egyptian
tradition! So, while the 'Paris axis' Solar/Sirian alignment
gives us ~May 8 as the 'anti-8/6' date, the combination of
ancient Egyptian and Celtic traditions makes May 1 a more
effective 'anti-8/6' day - and it was on that very day (May
1/2) that Schwarzenegger paid a visit to the biblical land of
Israel.

The
Lucifer/Venus theme that figures prominently in the 'Time
Code' is also present here since the term 'Beltane' (= May
Day/May 1) means 'Bel-fire', or 'the fire of Bel' (the Celtic
god of light). Bel is the Celtic Lucifer, the 'light bearer'.

Lucifer/Bel
also corresponds to Prometheus, the Greek god who gave fire
to mankind. (Beltane is considered the 'day of fire'.) This
then leads to the following... creepy connections.

The event that shocked
people around the world, associated with the other
already-unfolding shocking development, the
prisoner abuse scandal, was the release of a video on the
internet (May 11) showing the beheading of a 26-year old
American named Nick Berg in Iraq . He owned a communication
tower maintenance company called Prometheus Methods Tower
Service Inc. So 'Prometheus' pops up here again. Now add
this to the coincidence: the Beltane/May Day festival
originally involved animal and even human sacrifices. We learn:

Supposedly,
animal sacrifices would be made each Beltane to
ensure the fertility of their crops, however, every five
years the Highland Celts would sacrifice humans, the
numbers being made up of convicted criminals and prisoners
of war.

Berg was
a 'prisoner of war' indeed... So, this does smell like a
'Beltane ritual' that interacts with Schwarzenneger's Oak King
ritual on Beltane/May Day.

The 'Tower' part of
Berg's job/company is also suspiciously relevant. Mary
Magdalene, as a form of Venus-Isis/Sirius-Lucifer, is very
much part of the Time Code themes underlying this period of
May and beyond. And the name 'Magdalene' can denote...
'tower'. In particular it is relatable to the Tower of Babel
as explained in the article.

The Babel tower in the
Bible represents mankind working as one using one language.
God, seeing this, went down to earth and confused man's
language - as a result they could no longer communicate well
with each other. So the Tower of Babel has much to do with the
idea of 'communication', just as Nick Berg's job specifically
involved communication towers.

Furthermore,
the idea of decapitation is something very much attached to
John the Baptist (this is how his life ended). And as
mentioned earlier John is often considered the Christian
version of the Oak King (= Arnie) and his feast day (June 24)
marks/represents the summer solstice which in early ancient
Egyptian times coincided with Sirius' heliacal rising and thus
also with New Year's Day. In other words, John - and through
him Berg - is very much linked to the 'antichristic' Aug. 6
date and conceptually an 'opposite' of Beltane/May Day!

The date of the gruesome
video's posting, May 11, is also suggestive in that
there are exactly 322 days from the last John the Baptist day (June 24,
'03) to May 11, '04. You may recall that '322' is the
numerical signature of Skull and Bones, the Yale secret
society to which both Bush and John Kerry belong. The 'Shock
& Awe' event of 2003 - i.e. the US air assault on Iraq -
began on March 22/23 (i.e. 3/22 => '322'). And we had this
year's 'Shock & Awe', i.e. the decapitation video, also
coming with the signature number...

Next, we find
that the Beltane/May Day festival traditionally involved the
virgin goddess:

Many
communities elected a virgin as their "May Queen"
to lead marches or songs. To the Celts, she represented the
virgin goddess on the eve of her transition from Maiden to
Mother.

It turns out the
constellation of Virgo, associated with the Mary-Venus-Isis
goddess complex, has been considered a headless
constellation (Star Names, p.462).

Finally, the horrific
'Beltane ritual' of Nick Berg may have been an 'omen' for
Donald Rumsfeld, the head of the Pentagon (Defense
Department). In my May 6 update I wrote:

What makes
this really intriguing is that Rumsfeld heads the Pentagon.
As I made clear in the article, the 'time code' has much
to do with Venus and Sirius - both
traditionally signified by the 5-poitned star symbol,
or pentagram. Needless to say, geometrically the
pentagon is just another expression of the pentagram.

So at this
point we can't help but anticipate the exit of the
Defense/Pentagon Secretary...

In other words, the Berg
video, the month of May, and the Department of Defense are all
closely associated with the Mary-Venus-Isis/Sirius goddess
complex. The head of Nick Berg has been cut off (boy... I
really don't like talking about this); so, will this be the
case for the 'head' of the Pentagon as well? I view this
symbolism as suggestive of the exit of Rumsfeld in the near
future (either stepping down and getting fired).

Now,
getting back to Schwarzenegger's trip, let's address the
question of 'why Israel?' First, we can see that for a
'messianic' figure it would be quite natural to go there... to
get 'baptized' (or whatever). Note that the Oak King is 'born'
on the winter solstice/Yule, historically associated with
Christmas, thus also with the birth of Jesus. In other words,
the Oak King is an alter ego of the 'Messiah'. And the acting
Oak King, Arnie, just went 'back' to the Holy Land...

But more
interestingly, the name 'Israel' comes from a biblical figure
who was originally called Jacob. He is associated with
something akin to the Tower of Babel (Babylon/'gate of god')
or 'stargate', as we read in Genesis:

And Jacob
awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in
this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How
dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house
of God, and this is the gate of heaven. (28:16-17)

The line
'How dreadful is this place!' is thought to be connected to
Rennes-le-Chateau in south France where, at
its church's entrance, the visitor would encounter a strange
Latin inscription that reads 'TERRIBILIS EST LOCUS ISTE'
('This place is terrible'). Thanks to the great success of The
Da Vinci Code, now many people recognize that Rennes-le-Chateau
is inseparable from the underground tradition of Mary
Magdalene (= 'tower'). Not surprisingly, the subsequent
Genesis passages mentions 'pillar':

And
Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone
that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar,
and poured oil upon the top of it.And
he called the name of that place Beth-el...And this stone, which I have set for a pillar,
shall be God's house... (28:18-19, 22)

This
'pillar' is easily interchangeable with the Tower of Babel in
Babylon, the 'gate of god'. This is a 'stargate' theme. Isn't
it intriguing, then, that Schwarzenegger's most popular movie
character, the Terminator, is a cyborg that comes from the
future through a 'stargate' machine?

This 'stargate'
is also traditionally called 'Jacob's ladder', which has been
identified with the Milky Way. Those who have read The
Lucifer Time Code will recall that the significance
accorded to the month of May this year has much to do with
celestial configurations directly involving the Milky Way
[and its 'stargate' points]!

Jacob's
'stargate' pillar-stone is also associated
with the 'Stone of Destiny' which is related to
Grail/Arthurian tradition. This reminds us of the fact that
Arnold has a shadowy Enron connection
(the corrupt energy company that imploded in 2001-2) and
'Enron' spelt backwards is 'Norne', the name of the three
goddesses of fate (or destiny) in Norse mythology as
discussed before.

Here is
one of Nostradamus' quatrains often associated with the
'Antichrist' (I-76) that specifically mentions 'destiny' and
alludes to Norne:

The
man will be called by a barbaric name
that three sisters will receive from destiny.
He will speak then to a great people in words and deeds,
more than any other man will have fame and renown.

Schwarzenegger indeed
has the 'barbaric' epithet, 'Terminator', but before he was
the Terminator he was literally Conan
the Barbarian!

So, all combined, the
symbolism of Arnold's 'presidential' trip to Israel (= Jacob)
over the Beltane/May-Day weekend is quite telling and
meaningful.

Peak Oil is arriving.
Chaos will ensue. And Arnold Schwarzenegger will be right
there to assume leadership and forcefully maintain
order even as the Titanic sinks into the abyss. A scenario
that is becoming less and less improbable...

Okay, one more thing.
This week saw a very unusual development of all the major US
cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) carrying
a remarkable story
involving UFOs - how they were witnessed and acknowledged by
the Mexican military - in a quite serious manner. I see this
as a precursor to the coming announcement of the 'discovery'
of life on Mars - i.e. my Projection 'A' for May (and beyond).

The way
I see it, those 'UFOs' are probably 'ours', as in
non-extraterrestrial (something out of very deep
military-industrial black projects). I can actually detect a
parallel between the Nick Berg video and this UFO news (both
came out just about at the same time). The 'shock & awe'
video, on a practical level, had the very convenient
function of softening the impact of the Iraq prisoner abuse
photos. (Who benefited the most from the public display of
extreme savagery?) Rumsfeld is certainly feeling less pressure
at this time, and Cheney is happy that Rumsfeld still has his
job since without him at the top of the Pentagon the
neoconservative network that Cheney uses to run his 'shadow
government' would quickly collapse.

By
showing the extreme, people's threshold of tolerance is easily
changed. So, by implying in the mainstream news, at least
temporarily, that there may really be ETs visiting this planet
in flying saucers, the general public's 'tolerance level' gets
adjusted and thereby becoming ready mentally for the 'life on
Mars' announcement that may be in the works now.

The fact
that the ESA guys (Europe) are apparently getting ready to
make such an announcement in July or September this year tells
me that NASA/US may now have a motive to make its own 'life on
Mars' announcement' before them. Chances are NASA
already has more than enough evidence. So why let the
Europeans steal the limelight? The limelight outweighs secrecy
at this point, I would think.

It will be interesting
to see how/if these scenarios will unfold in the coming weeks.

JUNE: Venus Transit &
Osirian Resurrection

As we entered June, many of
the major themes began to converge and culminate in a
sequence of remarkable, ritualistic events.

First, my comments from June 1:

In Part 1 of the Time
Code article was discussed the importance of Venus (=
Lucifer) and its alter-ego star Sirius which is inseparable from the
idea of summer solstice and New Year via ancient Egyptian
tradition. Well, June is the summer-solstice month (June
20/21) and this year there will be a very rare 'Transit
of Venus' - the 'Lucifer planet' moving directly across the disk
of the Sun - on June 8. [...]

Two key
points here: The idea of opposite/reversal attached to the ~May 8
window relative to August 6 (which is also calendrically
analogous to 9/11
[and summer solstice]) makes the following fact quite
intriguing. The 'reverse' of August 6, or 8/6, is 6/8 -
that is, June 8... the day of the Venus transit.

And Venus in May was
positioned at the Sun's summer-solstice point. In
fact, specifically around May 8 the summer-solstice point was
precisely marked
by Mars. [...]

So you see that
the events
of May are heavily intertwined with the month of June and its
two key dates, June 8 and June 20/21 (summer solstice).
Remarkably, even those two dates are 'intelligently' arranged.
I've discussed before the importance of comparing the Julian
and Gregorian calendars which now have 13-day difference.
Well, June 8 and June 21 (summer solstice) are
separated by 13 days! In other words, these key dates are calendrically
equatable.

Consequently my general view
is that this June will be an 'echo month' of May, probably
an echo with more intensity. So naturally I will continue
to watch for things like the fall/exit of Defense Secretary
Rumsfeld and/or Cheney and their neo-conservative minions

The Super Bowl 'omen' would
really come alive at this point - almost certainly by design.

While so
much has already been said about Janet Jackson 'nipplegate',
there is still an important symbolism that no one as far as I know
has really detected in the whole thing. This has to do with the 'nipple
ring' or whatever it's called that partially covered Janet's
exposed right breast. As has been commented in many places, it's
in the shape of a 8-pointed star - or the Sun. [...]

As already explained, Jesus
Christ is [traditionally] very much comparable to Horus-Osiris.
And it happens that Horus is a prominent sun-god. And the
Jesus-Horus connection is most recognized through the almost
identical traditional depictions of Mary/Isis suckling the baby
Jesus/Horus. (The Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene are sometimes
considered interchangeable, especially in the esoteric/Grail
context.) So, the 'Sun' on Janet's breast would quite easily
relate to Horus-Jesus; and mythologically the baby's
birth implies the death of Christ/Osiris...

Because Mary Magdalene, or Isis the sister-wife of
Osiris, is traditionally identified with Venus and the breast
is decidedly a feminine symbol, we can easily interpret the
Sun nipple-ring on Janet's breast as signifying the Sun covering Venus.
And the direct conjunction of Sun and Venus is exactly what will
take place on June 8 this year!

The above connection is
intensified by the following:

Breasts produce milk.

The summer solstice
point in the sky is right on the path of the Milky Way.

The Transit of Venus
took place at the edge of the Milky Way.

So, all combined, what we have
here is a clear message - that the Venus Transit on June 8 is the event, or at least one of the events, pinpointed by the Super-Bowl
'omen'. And it signifies the time of the Osirian Resurrection, the
death of Osiris and the birth of Horus. Judging from the events of
May, the role of Osiris was likely to be played by the US leadership
and the role of Horus by Schwarzenegger.

This projection was to be dramatically
fulfilled by the death of Ronald Reagan on June 5.

Here is what I
wrote on June 8:

June 08, '04
Venus Transit & 'Hidden Form'

So
we're now seeing the second 'deep impact' event - or a
precursor event - of June, the death/mourning/funeral of
former President Ronald
Reagan. (The first one was the surprising
resignation Tenet,
the head of the CIA.) This one is directly overlapping
the key date of June 8, celestially marked by the Transit
of Venus. And it even correlates strongly with the 'Babylon
leader falling' theme projected for this period, though
I'm still closely monitoring the Pope, the current US
leadership (Cheney/Rumsfeld/neocons etc.), and such for this
theme. [...]

It's
interesting that Reagan's death should take place right
before the Venus transit [...]

...on this website I
have long been talking about the interchangeability between
the 'Babylon leader' and the 'Sun-king',
both epithets considered applicable, among others, to US
presidency (especially Bush). So the death of a former
President, i.e. Reagan, immediately preceding the
Horus/Grail event of the Venus transit is symbolically quite
fitting. This is the story of the death of Osiris and the
birth of Horus. [...]

[Now
let me bring up Nostradamus' quatrain] Quatrain IV-28:

When Venus will
be covered by the Sun,
Under the splendor will be a hidden form:
Mercury will have exposed them to the fire,
Through warlike noise it will be insulted.

The first line makes
the quatrain relevant [to] the Transit of Venus [as
the transit] is
indeed 'when Venus will be covered by the Sun'. I had been
aware of this potential connection for some time now, and one
of the reasons I mentioned 'Contact' in my previous update
(June 1) has to do with the fact that in Dolores Cannon's
book 'Conversations With Nostradamus'... quatrain IV-28 is
interpreted by a hypnotized subject to involve some kind of ET
Contact. This is supposedly alluded to by the 'hidden
form' mentioned in Line 2. This 'Contact' can easily involve
the anticipated 'life on Mars' announcement -
especially since the Red Planet was considered a form of Horus
by ancient Egyptians. The 'hidden form' may also relate to
our 'Antichrist' theme.

The third line - well,
it has suddenly become meaningful and supportive of the
Venus-transit association due to the timing of Reagan's
death. He was widely known
as 'the Great Communicator' - and that's exactly what
Mercury/Hermes represents in mythology, who is known
prominently as the messenger of the gods!

Now we
can't help but anticipate the suggested 'exposing' of the 'hidden form'.
Aside from the 'Contact' theme, it may well involve all the
serious investigations presently dogging the Bush
administration - or more specifically the treasonous
neoconservative crowd - namely the CIA/Plame leak probe, the
Chalabi/Iran leak probe, the Iraq torture scandal probe,
etc. This is interesting especially since the neocons worship
Reagan, and the current Bush presidency is (unsuccessfully)
patterned after Reagan's in many ways. [...]

Well, at the time
I didn't quite realize just how significant Reagan's death really
was. Obviously it was a huge event especially for the US media which
covered the week-long proceedings like there was no tomorrow. I
frankly stopped watching TV news during this period because the
coverage had quickly become overkill.

Still, I was compelled to watch the funeral
ceremony on the
final day - which fell on Friday, June 11. I was astounded by what I saw.

Did
you see it? Did you feel the 'deep impact' of June 11, 2004?
I can't recall witnessing a 'ritual' so powerful like this
one, climaxing late yesterday as the Sun set on the
California horizon. The
energy emanating from the ceremony
was so great that I found it unsettling. It was all
beautiful on the surface - indeed near perfect - and yet
underneath it there was an esoteric ritual taking place
simultaneously. It was unmistakable.

Previously on June 8 I
wrote that the death event of Ronald Reagan signified the
death of Osiris (Egyptian god of the dead) - something
projected beforehand here at Etemenanki:

...the death of a
former President, i.e. Reagan, immediately preceding the
Horus/Grail event of the Venus transit is symbolically
quite fitting. This is the story of the death of Osiris
and the birth of Horus.

I explained that the
death/funeral was a ritual designed to interact, or
commemorate, the Transit
of Venus that took place on June 8, right in the middle
of the national mourning period. Venus being a form of Isis
(or Mary Magdalene) and Osiris being symbolic of the
sunset,
the rare union of the two celestial objects reenacted the
mythological event of Horus being conceived by Isis, as she
is said to have received the seed of her husband Osiris
concurrently with his death. Hence I anticipated that an
event analogous to the conception/birth of Horus would
emerge following or together with the presidential death
ritual. I previously wrote:

It's interesting
that Reagan's death should take place right before the
Venus transit as the Venus-Sun union is symbolic of the
Mary-Jesus (as well as Isis-Osiris) union and the
resultant birth of Horus, the 'Holy Grail' (the seed of
Christ/Antichrist).

Since
the very beginning,
August 2003, I have been viewing the political rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger
as the new 'Messianic'/'Antichristic' king, Horus, being
born. Etemenanki
has been the only and certainly the first place, as far as I
know, to make this interpretation - though I should note
that Alex Jones and the LaRouche camp expressed more or less
similar views at the time of the California 'Total Recall'
election last year (both compared Arnie to Hitler).

I noted just recently
in the June 8 update:

The 'hidden form'
[which I associated with the Venus transit] may also
relate to our 'Antichrist' theme.

And in The
Lucifer Time Code (May 3, '04) I listed the
following as one of the projected events that might manifest
in this very period:

As
Reagan died, things began to form into a perfect-storm ritual
designed to 'inaugurate', in an occultic fashion, the New
King, the 'Antichristic' Terminator. Is it just a
coincidence that both Reagan and Arnold were an ex-Hollywood actor who became [Republican]
California governor? Conceptually they can be viewed as
alter egos, just as Osiris and his son Horus were. And so as Reagan
died, we could easily expect that Schwarzenegger - in his
new role - was to be conceived/born.

Indeed,
the finale of the week-long Osirian ritual brought Reagan's
dead body and along with it the attention of the entire
nation from Washington DC to California, the land governed by Arnold,
to be buried at sunset as requested by Reagan
himself.

All the major TV
channels in the US showed this grand finale in such a way
that it was openly intimated that the fading Sun was
symbolic of the former president himself - which was indeed
clearly the case.

As I watched the
farewell speeches given by his sons and daughter, a familiar
face emerged into view.... someone sitting right behind
the Reagan family. And there he was: Arnold Schwarzenegger... the 'hidden form under the splendor' (a la
Quatrain IV-28/Nostradamus discussed before). The camera
work was subtle but it unmistakably made the point of
acknowledging his presence repeatedly. And it became
abundantly clear to me that he was the hidden star of
this extraordinary ritual, the biggest one in recent memory.

I was
transfixed by all this, as I knew the momentous implications
of what I was witnessing. The torch of 'kingship' -
or 'Antichristship' - was publicly, yet covertly, being passed on to The Next
- Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As the proceedings
approached the ending, virtually all major channels began to
focus more and more on the setting sun hovering just above
the mountainous western horizon. People were now moving in
procession slowly toward the casket holding Reagan's body,
paying their respect for the last time. But the TV cameras
stayed with the Sun which was finally disappearing into the
horizon.

As I
was observing this sequence, I just knew that at the moment
of the Sun's
disappearance, signifying the death
of Osiris, Arnold would be highlighted in some way, as
symbolically the Osirian 'death' had to give rise to the
next incarnation embodied by his son Horus (= rising sun).
If Schwarzenegger was indeed the 'occult star' of the whole
ritual as suspected, this 'coincidence' had to take place.
And if it indeed magically did, that would have to be
considered an incredibly powerful confirmation of the hidden
design.

I
didn't have to know the exact local sunset time since the TV
did a good job of tracking the fading Sun. I had detected
the presence of Arnold in the line moving toward the coffin
and almost instinctively I began to anticipate what was
coming next: the 'death' of the Sun precisely coinciding
with Arnie standing in front of the dead 'king'. (This would
be only about a 20-second window).

By this time, my hands
began to sweat and my heartbeat began to race. Something to
do with 'knowing' what is coming and knowing its momentous
implications. Chances of it taking place so small, and yet
the certainty of the coming 'magic moment' overwhelming. As
the TV showed the last seconds of the fateful sunset taking
place on the horizon and the commentator saying '...and the
Sun is now history', the camera went right back to the
casket. It showed a couple approaching the casket, saying
final goodbye.

The man was Arnold
Schwarzenegger....

At
the 'moment of death', Arnie was right there 'face-to-face'
with the dead president, as if to receive
the 'spirit of kingship'.

This is exactly what
happened. I witnessed it with my own eyes. The predicted
'magical coincidence' took place just as described above...

Make
no mistake: Schwarzenegger will soon be the leader of the
United States, if not the entire world. Probably sooner
than we think. And his leadership will likely bring about
the termination of the the United States as we know it.

It is not apparent
yet, but it seems the US has now esoterically become an
'Arnold Country'. From this point forward we are unlikely to
see any calm period until the 'termination', just several
years away.

At this time I must
say: put your seatbelt on. Horus has arrived and we are in
for a wild ride... Chaos and the rise of a (Martian) new
world order.

As you can see, what I saw
impressed as well as worried me greatly. The 'magical ritual' was... well,
magical... in a rather dark sense. But soon I realized that
there was much more to the hidden design that would make it even
more 'magical', and seemingly impossible.

Tracing the Line of Fire

The new revelation began to
unfold as I began to wonder about the literal counterpart of the sunset itself,
i.e. sunrise. No doubt the sunset of June 11 at/near
Los Angeles was ritualistically very important and designed to mark the
death of Osiris as well as the conception/birth of Horus. If the sunset
itself was symbolic of the death of Osiris/Reagan, I thought, there
ought to have been a sunrise somewhere to signify
the simultaneous rise of Horus - the sunrise-god/king - embodied by
Schwarzenegger.

As the Sun went down in Los Angeles (or Simi Valley),
the Sun was seen rising on
the horizon somewhere -
more or less the opposite side of
the earth. Then I remembered a comment posted by an Etemenanki reader
'Alfredo', pointing out that the Olympic torch currently going around the world
was at
Giza/Cairo on June 11, i.e. the same date as Reagan's
funeral. I found this intriguing because of its relevance to
Schwarzenegger. As noted in Part 1,
the 'rise of Arnold' cannot be separated from Giza/Cairo, the notion
of fire, and the Olympics:

Schwarzenegger's
dramatic election announcement on Aug. 6, 2003 was
apparently designed to coincide with the heliacal rising of the
star Sirius as seen from Giza/Cairo - a
celestial event
that signaled for ancient Egyptians the beginning of the annual
life-giving flood of the Nile, signifying the resurrection of
Osiris/birth of Horus.

The term 'Sirius' is
linked to the notion of 'scorching' (thus also with
fire); the term 'pyramid' is also etymologically linked to fire.

Secondly:

One of Schwarzenegger's
nicknames happens to be 'The Olympian' (he won the 'Mr.
Olympia' bodybuilding competition six times).

Venus - or Lucifer
the 'light bearer' - has an orbital period of 225 earth-days. The AthensOlympic
Games, the destination of the torch, will begin on the 225th day of
the year 2004 [after Jan. 1] - August
13.

Thirdly:

The name 'Cairo'
denotes Mars, and both Mars and the Great Sphinx
at Giza were thought to have been a form of Horus in
ancient Egypt.

The California 'Total
Recall election' last summer/fall coincided with Mars coming historically
close
to Earth (closest in 60,000 years), peaking around August
27. The film Total Recall, featuring
Schwarzenegger, is all about Mars.

And so naturally I decided
there was good enough reason to check the position of the Sun as seen from Giza/Cairo at the moment of
the LA (Simi Valley) sunset (~8 pm local).

I quickly fired up my Starry
Night Pro program and reproduced the Californian sunset as seen
on June
11. I then instructed the program to jump to
Cairo. What emerged next was both shocking and satisfying.

The
Sun was rising right at the horizon of Cairo/Giza!

Hence came the inevitable
conclusion: the 'rise of Horus/Schwarzenegger' was designed to be
'acknowledged' by the Egyptian/'Martian' sunrise at Giza/Cairo -
coinciding perfectly with the fall of Osiris, the sunset, taking place
at Simi Valley/LA!

I found this mind-boggling. The
level of sophistication and precision demonstrated by the design/coordination
was off the scale. (We wonder who could set all this up so
perfectly.) This was a powerful 'passing of the torch' ritual
indeed.

The 'ritual' didn't end there, of
course.

Technically speaking, the
Olympic torch and the sunrise at Giza/Cairo didn't literally coincide.
That's because the 'Antichristic'
sunrise found above took place on the morning of June 12 (a day
'ahead' of California due to the
time-zone difference) while the torch was passing by Giza on June
11 local time. Between June 11 and 12, the torch was
actually traveling from
Cairo to Cape Town at the southern tip of Africa.

As the illustration
above shows, the torch's
movement from June 11 to 12 closely followed
the course of the Nile river.

The Nile is an
unusually 'vertical' river that flows northward from the equator
to Giza/Cairo (30°N latitude). It can easily be seen as a meridian
- a longitudinal line - carved directly on the earth's surface.

Now consider the
following: Today's official International Prime Meridian is the longitude going through
Greenwich; more esoterically the Zero/Prime Meridian would be the one
going through Paris, sometimes called the 'Rose Line' and associated
with the Grail/messianic bloodline; and an even more esoteric Zero
Meridian would be the one going through or near the Great Pyramid of
Giza. Even beyond that - i.e. the most 'esoteric' - would be the 'Nile anchor meridian', 33°E longitude,
of the 'Time River scheme' revealed in my
book, The Time Rivers. {The latter two are close enough to make
no difference in our discussion here.)

In other words, the
longitudinal line marked by the Nile is a form of esoteric
'Zero Meridian'. This then relates
right back to the earlier Longinus/Spear of Destiny
discussion stemming from the Super Bowl/Pepsi-ad symbolism, and linked to the
Transit of Venus, the Messianic bloodline, and, as noted
before:

Birth
of Horus, birth of Antichrist - that would probably the strongest
concept conveyed by all this.

Now let us review
the key points
made earlier:

"What I find
particularly interesting here is the potential connection between
the term 'longitude' and the name 'Longinus'. I
don't think it's a mere coincidence that Longinus is associated
with a lance, i.e. a straight line... such as a longitudinal line (meridian),
especially since Jesus' blood/bloodline is esoterically associated
with a meridian called 'Rose Line' (more or less equated
with the Paris Zero Meridian). And this certainly
increases the symbolic depth of the longitudinal celestial
alignment formed around the spring equinox..."

"...I saw the name of the
area where Opportunity landed - 'Meridiani
Planum'. That is, 'Meridian Plane' - so called
because the site is near the Prime Meridian, or longitude
zero, of Mars! Very unexpected, but this certainly seems
to confirm my symbolic interpretation regarding Longinus,
i.e. the relevance of longitude zero/Prime Meridian/Rose Line."

And this:

Because Mary Magdalene, or Isis the sister-wife of
Osiris, is traditionally identified with Venus and the breast
is decidedly a feminine symbol, we can easily interpret the
Sun nipple-ring on Janet's breast as signifying the Sun covering Venus.
And the direct conjunction of Sun and Venus is exactly what will
take place on June 8 this year!

The above connection is
intensified by the following:

Breasts produce milk.
[...]

The Transit of Venus
takes place at the edge of the Milky Way.

What I didn't point out earlier is that the
Venus transit of June 8, a rare Sun-Venus union, actually took place very near the galactic 'Prime Meridian' - i.e.
the longitude zero (or 180°) of the sky grid based on the Milky Way!
But the real punch line here is this: Venus crossed the galactic
meridian more precisely on June 11, the very day of Reagan's
funeral!

We thus have the following,
amazing set
of ritualistic 'coincidences':

June 11: Sunset at LA
(Simi Valley) signifying the death of Reagan/Osiris

June 11: Sunrise taking place
simultaneously at Cairo/Giza signifying the rise of
Schwarzenegger/Horus

June 11-12: The Olympictorch
traveling along the Nile, an esoteric Prime Meridian

June 11: Venus crossing the
galactic Prime Meridian

(Note: Venus crossed the
galactic meridian earlier on May 8/9 also, which closely coincided with the release of the
'shock & awe' video showing the beheading of Nick Berg whose body was
found on May 8.)

Well, this is still not
the end of the 'ritual' design. The next 'magical coincidence' would
represent the
final nail in the coffin.

Get this:

On June 16, the Olympic torchcame
to Los Angeles, a prominent city in Arnold's state,
California, and approximately where Reagan's funeral was
held

The title 'Around the
World in 80 Days' evokes the Olympic torch 'going around
the world'

In the film, Arnold's
character - a Turkish prince - is called 'Hapi'. In ancient
Egypt, Hapi
was the god of the Nile! More specifically Hapi personified
the annual inundation of the Nile which in turn signified the
revitalization of Osiris (also a Nile god), i.e. the birth of
Horus!

So, clearly, this is a super-ritual... at the center of
which is Arnold
Schwarzenegger. All the indications are that Arnie is destined to 'change the world' - or at least the New World - in the near future by playing
the role of Horus, Messiah, and/or 'Antichrist'.

Countdown To Final Solution

Osirian
resurrection, Horus, Giza, Mars, Venus, meridian, Olympics... It is truly uncanny
how coherently these major themes interact with X-72, one of Nostradamus' most famous
quatrains:

Quatrain
X-72L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d'effrayeur:Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois,Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur.The year 1999 seven months,From the sky will come a great King of terror:To bring back to life the great King of
Angolmois,Before after Mars to reign by good luck

My interpretation of X-72 was
first presented in September '98 in an article titled 1999: Final
Solution. Since then it's been updated somewhat but the basic
elements remained unchanged and consistent - something quite normal for me but a
rare phenomenon in the largely foresight-less field of prophetic
interpretation.

Among other things, I have
shown how X-72 was very much applicable to the 9/11 'terror' event - the
date of '1999
seven months' being calendrically analogous to '2001 September', etc.
- in my post-9/11 articles such as The
Labour of the Sun
(February 15, '02), Rex
Deux (March 11,
'02) and The
Message of Cycle 23(May 24, '02).

Here let me first point out that:

Osiris is called the 'Lord of Terror'
in the Book of
the Dead

The Great Sphinx, a
form of Horus/Mars, is also known as 'Father of Terror'

Mars, directly
mentioned in line 4, can be viewed as the 'king of terror'
in that its two moons are named 'Phobos' and 'Deimos', both
basically meaning 'terror'

The 'resurrection'
theme appears in line 3, coming right after the phrase 'King of terror'

As for 'Angolmois'
(line 3), there was a province in south-east France called 'Angoumois'
where today we find 'Angouleme', a city notable for being at
longitude 0 deg.

Let me
next bring your attention to
the fact that in 1999:
Final Solution one of the big pieces of the puzzle used to
solve the quatrain riddle was Cassini
- a NASA space probe sent to Saturn in the late '90s.

Back in 1998/1999, I focused on
the fact that Cassini, launched in Oct '97, was about to come back from
the inner solar system to make an earth-flyby on Aug. 18, 1999.
I associated it with the 'king of terror' said to come 'from
the sky' a la Quatrain X-72 especially since Saturn is in many ways
the Greco-Roman version of Osiris, the god of resurrection and the
'once and future king'.

Well, the Cassini
mission is heating up again today. The probe is about to reach its
destination on July 1, '04 - now just days
away! So combined with the symbolic implications already mentioned,
this ominous timing makes it clear that the quatrain is becoming very
much relevant again.

Century
IV-28
When Venus will be covered by the Sun,
Under the splendor will be a hidden form:
Mercury will have exposed them to the fire,
Through warlike noise it will be insulted.

Furthermore, in 1999:
Final Solution I associated X-72 with another quatrain, IV-28, i.e. the quatrain
apparently alluding to the Transit of Venus. As I wrote back then ('98):

Now,
what's interesting..., coming back to IV-28, is
that Venus is to be "covered by the sun"...
in August 1999 - the very timeframe suggested by X-72.
And it's when Cassini’s Earth-flyby occurs. Only roughly
60 days before the Earth-flyby, Cassini’s Venus-flyby occurs (June
20, ’99), and consequently, Cassini is to approach from the
"direction of Venus" and be "temporarily hidden by
the sun". The match between this and the IV-28 information is
quite uncanny, and it brings together IV-28 and X-72.

So obviously you
cannot say that my quatrain interpretations are done in hindsight
since much of what's emerging today was conceptually anticipated
years ago. And the pattern discerned
through the
quatrains seems to be approaching some kind of climax at the present
time.

The significance of
the timing is hard to miss. Cassini's arrival on
July 1 closely coincides with the 'handover'
of Iraq, scheduled for June 30, (the last day of month). It
represents a politically intense day and a
source of much violence going on today. So this coincidence is quite
ominous.

Further increasing the
gravity of the timing is the fact that Venus will be crossing
the galactic meridian in early July again. (Venus is going back
and forth in that region during this period.) The meridian crossing will
occur on July 4 -
Independence Day. This could be viewed as a key date especially when added
that the crossing point's galactic latitude will be -19.5
degrees, an angle said to be the 'Holy Grail' message found
geometrically encoded on the surface of Mars (Cydonia).

Related to the
above are the following key dates of late June:

The summer
solstice,June 20/21, is obviously a key date
for our themes.

June 24,
the John the Baptist day, is another key date -
Schwarzenegger being a form of John/Oak King, associated
with decapitation, and all.

Cassini's
Venus flyby in 1999 before heading toward Earth took place on June
24.

The date of Reagan's
funeral, June 11, representing a big 'Osirian Resurrection' day, is
calendrically analogous to June 24 since there is a 13-day
difference between the Gregorian and Julian calendars. (June 11 +
13 days = June 24)

It may also be relevant
that June 24 is calendrically interchangeable with July 7, separated by 13
days...

As for what can happen during this window
covering late June and early July, I'll just basically repeat the potential events projected in
The Lucifer Time
Code: Part 1:

Major
development involving or associated with 9/11 and/or Iraq.

Major event
that has to do with the fall/exit of one or more of the 'Babylon
leaders' (which include figures such as, and those closely
associated with, Bush/Cheney, Blair, Sharon, and particularly the
Pope).

Major
announcement concerning Mars, such as the discovery of life or
present water of Mars.

These themes
are likely to continue beyond the June-July window and into the
latter part of 2004. The Athens Olympic Games in August is obviously a
key event in all this. There is also going to be a very
significant celestial configuration in September. And of course we'll
have that
presidential election in November...

I must also say that the
issue of the 'Patriot Act' is likely to be a big part of what's
coming in the near future. Sparks may begin to fly by late
June as
Michael Moore's powerful documentary film Fahrenheit
9/11, opening on June 25, will force this controversial
issue to go further mainstream. The question is: Did the triumph of
the Patriots in this year's Super Bowl foreshadow the triumph of the Patriot Act, or did
it foreshadow the triumph of the real patriots, i.e. the defeat of
the Patriot Act? While not very clear at this point, signs leans
toward the former.

In any case, these topics
will be discussed in future installments of The Lucifer Time Code.
